Question | What is a 'Maintenance Margin'? |
Hello PrettyWoman, A maintenance margin is the minimum amount of equity that must be maintained in a margin account. In the context of the NYSE and FINRA, after an investor has bought securities on margin, the minimum required level of margin is 25% of the total market value of the securities in the margin account. Keep in mind that this level is a minimum, and many brokerages have higher maintenance requirements of 30-40%. Maintenance margin is also referred to as "minimum maintenance" or "maintenance requirement." |
